The Key Word — χρίω, chriōgenerated
The verb χρίω means 'to anoint', indicating a divine appointment. In this context, it signifies Jesus being set apart for His ministry, empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill His mission.
This aorist active indicative form shows that the anointing is a completed action, emphasizing that Jesus has been officially designated for this role.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as He has anointed Me, which is mirrored in the KJV and ASV. This consistent wording highlights the significance of Jesus' anointing.
However, the translations diverge in the rendering of ἀπέσταλκέν — while the BSB uses He has sent, the KJV opts for he hath sent, showing a difference in tense and style.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is ἐπ᾽, is upon, which governs several phrases: first, a clause describing the Spirit's presence; second, a clause detailing the anointing; and third, a series of infinitive phrases outlining the missions of preaching, proclaiming, and healing.
The structure emphasizes the actions Jesus is sent to perform, linking them directly to His divine empowerment.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word πνεῦμα corresponds to the Hebrew רוּחַ in the Septuagint, which also means 'spirit' or 'breath'. This connection underlines the continuity of the Holy Spirit's role in both the Old and New Testaments.
The term ἄφεσις reflects the Hebrew concept of שָׁנָה, which relates to release and forgiveness, reinforcing the theme of liberation in Jesus' mission.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.—The passage that follows reproduces, with a few unimportant variations, the LXX. version of Isa 61:1-2. The words “to heal the broken-hearted” are not in the best MSS. “To set at liberty them that are bruised” is not found in the present text of Isaiah. It is a legitimate inference that the passage which Jesus thus read was one in which He wished men to see the leading idea of His ministry. Glad tidings for the poor, remission of sins, comfort for the mourners, these were what He proclaimed now. These were proclaimed again in the beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. We cannot fail to connect the opening words with the descent of the Spirit at His…

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the BibleVerse 18. The Spirit of the Lord] This is found in Isaiah 61:1; but our Lord immediately adds to it Isaiah 42:7. The proclaiming of liberty to the captives, and the acceptable year (or year of acceptance) of the Lord, is a manifest allusion to the proclaiming of the year of jubilee by sound of trumpet: see Leviticus 25:9, c., and the notes there. This was a year of general release of debts and obligations of bond-men and women; of lands and possessions, which had been sold from the families and tribes to which they belonged. Our Saviour, by applying this text to himself, a text so manifestly relating to the institution above mentioned, plainly declares the typical design of that…

Lexicons — every word in Luke 4:18
One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word πνεῦμα (i.e., *pneuma*) means 'spirit' or 'breath' and is derived from the verb πνέω (to blow). It encompasses various meanings, including air in motion, the vital principle of life, and spiritual beings such as angels and demons. In the New Testament, it frequently refers to the Holy Spirit and the human spirit, appearing in contexts that contrast it with the body or flesh.
From the words into comparison with which πνεῦμα is here brought, it will be evident that it is proposed to deal with it in its natural and earthly, not in its supernatural and heavenly, meaning. Only I will observe, that on the relations between πνοή and πνεῦμα in this its higher sense there is a discussion in Augustine, De Civ. Dei, xiii. 22; cf. De Anim. et huj. Orig. i. 14, 19. The first three words of this group, as they designate not things heavenly but things earthly, differ from one another exactly as, according to Seneca, do in the Latin ‘aér,’ ‘spiritus,’ ‘ ventus’ (Nat. Qu. v. 13) : ‘Spiritum a vento motus' separat; vehementior enim spiritus ventus est; invicem spiritus leviter fluens aer.’ Πνοή and πνεῦμα occur not seldom together, as at Isai. xlii. 5; lvii. 16; πνοή conveying the impression of a lighter, gentler, motion of the air than πνεῦμα, as ‘aura’ than ‘ventus.’…

κύριος is a Greek word meaning 'lord' or 'master,' derived from the concept of authority. It is used in various contexts, referring to God, Jesus, and earthly masters. In the New Testament, it often denotes divine authority, as seen in verses like Matthew 12:8. The term can also express respect when addressing others, such as teachers or magistrates.
A MAN, according to the later Greek grammarians, was δεσπότης in respect of his slaves (Plato, Legg. vi. 756 e), therefore οἰκοδεσπότης, but κύριος in regard of his wife and children ; who in speaking either to him or of him, would give him this title of honour; “as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord” (κύριον αὐτὸν καλοῦσα, I Pet. ili. 6: ef. Plutarch, De Virt. Mul. 5. vv. Μίκκα καὶ Meyoro). There is a certain truth in this distinction. Undoubtedly there lies in κύριος the sense of an authority owning limitations—moral limitations it may be; it is implied too that the wielder of this authority will not exclude, in wielding it, a consideration of their good over whom it is exercised; while the δεσπότης exercises a more unrestricted power and absolute domination, confessing no such limitations or restraints. He who addresses another as δέσποτα, puts an emphasis of submission into his…

Lord
There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.
(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form “Jehovah” is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
(2.) Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).
The old plural form of this Hebrew word is ’adonai. From a superstitious reverence for the name “Jehovah,” the Jews, in reading their Scriptures, whenever that name…
[GOD]
This name belongs to God by preeminence; and in this sense ought never to be given to any creature. Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the Son of God, and equal with the Father, is often called Lord in Scripture, especially in the writing of Paul. The word LORD, in the English Bible, when printed in small capitals, stands always for JEHOVAH in the Hebrew. See JEHOVAH.

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word ἕνεκα (lemma: heneka) is a preposition used with the genitive, meaning 'on account of' or 'for the sake of.' It appears in various New Testament passages, often indicating a reason or cause, such as in Matthew and Acts. The word can also appear in forms like ἕνεκεν and εἵνεκεν, with slight variations in usage, but the core meaning remains consistent across sources.
ἕνεκα (only before consonants [ Rec. three times (Grsb. twice) out of twenty-five]), and ἕνεκεν [R G 19 times, L (out of 26) 21 times, Tr 20, WH 18, T 17], or in a form at first Ionic εἵνεκεν (Lk. iv. 18 [Rec. &.; xviii. 29 T WH; Acts xxviii. 20 TWH]; 2 Co. iii. 10 [RGLmrg. év.]; vii. 12 [RG], both the last forms alike before consonants and vowels [cf. s. v.

The Greek word χρίω (*chriō*) means 'to anoint' and is often associated with consecration to a sacred office, such as a priest or king. In the New Testament, it refers to God's anointing of Jesus and the endowment of Christians with the Holy Spirit. It can also imply the act of rubbing or smearing with oil, and is used metaphorically in various contexts, including Acts 10:38 and 2 Corinthians 1:21.
χρίω: 1 aor. ἔχρισα; (akin to χείρ [(?), see Curtius § 201], χραίνω ; prop. ‘to touch with the hand’, ‘to besmear’); fr. Hom. down; Sept. for Mw; to anoint (on the persons who received anointing among the Hebrews, see χρίσμα); in the N. T. only trop. of God a. consecrating Jesus to the Messianic office, and furnishing him with powers necessary for its administration (see xpiopa): Lk. iv. 18 (after Is. lxi. 1); contrary to common usage with an ace. of the thing, ἔλαιον (like verbs of clothing, putting on, ete.

Deissmann (ZAZ p. 134 ff.) has drawn attention to the parallels to the solemn use of the first personal pronoun in the Fourth Gospel that may be adduced from inscriptions and magical texts.

εὐαγγελίζω is a verb meaning to announce good news, particularly in a Christian context referring to the gospel. It is derived from roots meaning 'good' and 'message.' The New Testament frequently uses it to describe the act of proclaiming the message of salvation through Christ, as seen in verses like Luke 4:18 and Romans 1:15. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

The Greek word πτωχός (ptochos) is derived from πτώσσω, meaning to crouch or cower. It primarily refers to a beggar or someone who is poor, often in a destitute sense, and is used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. The New Testament uses it to describe physical poverty (e.g., Luke 14:13) and spiritual lowliness (e.g., Matthew 5:3).
πτωχός, -ή, -ov, (πτώσσω, to be thoroughly frizhtened, to cower down or hide one’s self for fear; hence πτωχός prop. one who slinks and crouches), often involving the idea of roving about in wretchedness [see πένης, fin.; “but it always had a bad sense till it was ennobled in the Gospels; see Mt. v. 3; Lk. vi. 20, ef. 2 Co. viii. 9” (L. and 5. 5. v.

poor ('ebhyon, dal, `ani, rush; ptochos):
I. In the Old Testament.
The poor have great prominence in the Bible; it is said, indeed, that there should be no poor among the Hebrews because Yahweh should so greatly bless them (De 15:4 the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version margin); but this was only to be realized on certain conditions of obedience (De 15:5), and in De 15:11 it is said,"The poor will never cease out of the land"; but they were to see to it that none was left in destitution. The very foundation of the Hebrew religion was God's pity on a poor and oppressed people.
1. The Terms Employed:
Poor
The Mosaic legislation regarding the poor is specially important. (1.) They had the right of gleaning the fields (Lev. 19:9, 10; Deut. 24:19,21).
(2.) In the sabbatical year they were to have their share of the produce of the fields and the vineyards (Ex. 23:11; Lev. 25:6).
(3.) In the year of jubilee they recovered their property (Lev. 25:25-30).
(4.) Usury was forbidden, and the pledged raiment was to be returned before the sun went down (Ex. 22:25-27; Deut. 24:10-13). The rich were to be generous to the…
The general kindly spirit of the law toward the poor is sufficiently shown by such passages as (15:7) for the reason that (ver. 11) "the poor shall never cease out of the land." Among the special enactments in their favor the following must be mentioned: The right of gleaning. (Leviticus 19:9,10; 24:19,21) From the produce of the land in sabbatical years the poor and the stranger were to have their portion. (Exodus 23:11; Leviticus 25:6) Re-entry upon land in the jubilee year, with the limitation as to town homes. (Leviticus 25:25-30) Prohibition of usury and of retention of pledges. (Exodus 22:25-27;
Ps 12:5 41:1-3, especially cared for in the Jewish dispensation, Ex 23:6 Pr 14:31, and even more so under the gospel, Mt 25:42-45 Jas 2:5. The slight offerings required of them by the law were as acceptable as the hecatombs of the rich, Le 5:7-13 Mr 12:41-44. The gleanings of the fields, the olive trees, and the vines, were to be left for them, Le 19:9 De 24:19

The Greek word ἀποστέλλω (i.e., *apostellō*) means to send away or dispatch, often with a specific mission or commission. It is used in various contexts, including sending persons like Christ and the apostles, as well as things like messages or commands. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in Matthew 10:40 and Luke 4:18. Different lexicons highlight its official or authoritative connotation compared to the more general term for sending.

Deissmann (ZAZ p. 134 ff.) has drawn attention to the parallels to the solemn use of the first personal pronoun in the Fourth Gospel that may be adduced from inscriptions and magical texts. Thus in an inscr. in honour of Isis from Ios, written in ii/iii A.p., the contents of which are preChristian, we find —Elows ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ τ[ύρανν]ος πάσης χόρας.. ἐγὼ νόμους ἀνθρώποις ἐθέμην . . ἐγώ εἰμι Kpdvov θυγάτηρ πρεσβυτάτη α΄. And similarly in the magical papyrus P Lond 4645 (iv/a.p.) (=I. p. 69) ἐγώ εἰμι ὃ ἀκέφαλος δαίμων . . ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀλήθεια ὁ μεισῶν ἀδικήματα γείνεσθαι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ α΄.

ἰάομαι is a Greek verb meaning 'to heal' or 'to cure,' used both literally and figuratively. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including physical healing and spiritual restoration. The word is related to the Hebrew term for healing found in the Septuagint. There is a distinction noted between ἰάομαι and θεραπεύω, with the former focusing more on healing rather than medical treatment.

ἰάομαι. As distinguished from θεραπεύω ““ treat medically’ (see s.v. and cf.

hel (rapha'; therapeuo, iaomai, diasozo): The English word is connected with the Anglo-Saxon hoelan, and is used in several senses:
(1) Lit., in its meaning of making whole or well, as in Ec 3:3. In this way it occurs in prayers for restoration to health (Nu 12:13; Ps 6:2; Jer 17:14); and also in declarations as to God's power to restore to health (De 32:39; 2Ki 20:5-8).
(2) Metaphorically it is applied to the restoration of the soul to spiritual health and to the repair of the injuries caused by sin (Ps 41:4;

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word συντρίβω (*suntribō*) means to crush or break into pieces, both literally and figuratively. It is formed from the prefix συν (together) and a root meaning to rub or grind. The New Testament uses it in contexts such as breaking a reed (Mt 12:20) and crushing strength (Lk 9:39). There is some variation in how lexicons describe its nuances, especially regarding its metaphorical uses.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

καρδία (kardia) means 'heart' and encompasses both the physical organ and the metaphorical seat of life, emotions, thoughts, and intentions. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, often relating to spiritual and moral conditions (e.g., Matthew 5:8). The term is derived from a root meaning to quiver or palpitate, linking it to feelings and desires.
καρδία, -ας, ἡ,
[in LXX chiefly for לֵב, לֵבָב;]
the heart,
the bodily organ which is regarded as the seat of life (II Ki 18:14, IV Ki 9:24, al.).
In a psychological sense, the seat of man's collective energies, the focus of personal life, the seat of the rational as well as the emotional and volitional elements in human life, hence that wherein lies the moral and religious condition of the man (DB, ii, 317 f.; DGG, ii, 344a);

Hence 2. univ. καρδία denotes the seat and centre of all physical and spiritual life; and a. the vigor and sense of physical life (Ps. ci.

hart (lebh, lebhabh; kardia): The different senses in which the word occurs in the Old Testament and the New Testament may be grouped under the following heads:
1. Various Meanings:
It represents in the first place the bodily organ, and by easy transition those experiences which affect or are affected by the body. Fear, love, courage, anger, Joy, sorrow, hatred are always ascribed to the heart--especially in the Old Testament; thus courage for which usually ruach is used (Ps 27:14); joy (Ps 4:7); anger (De 19:6, "while his heart is hot," lebhabh); fear (1Sa 25:37); sorrow (Ps 13:2), etc.
Heart
According to the Bible, the heart is the centre not only of spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life. “Heart” and “soul” are often used interchangeably (Deut. 6:5; 26:16; comp. Matt. 22:37; Mark 12:30, 33), but this is not generally the case.
The heart is the “home of the personal life,” and hence a man is designated, according to his heart, wise (1 Kings 3:12, etc.), pure (Ps. 24:4; Matt. 5:8, etc.), upright and righteous (Gen. 20:5, 6;

κηρύσσω is a verb meaning to proclaim or herald, particularly in the context of announcing divine truth or the Gospel. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of preaching, often associated with figures like John the Baptist and the apostles. The word is derived from a tradition of formal public announcements and carries a sense of authority. Notably, Abbott-Smith mentions its use in Mark 1:45 and other verses, emphasizing its role in the proclamation of the Gospel.

The Greek word αἰχμάλωτος (transliterated as aichmalotos) means 'captive' or 'prisoner.' It is derived from αἰχμή (a spear) and ἁλίσκομαι (to be taken). The term is used in various contexts, including references to prisoners of war and captives in general. It appears in the New Testament in Luke 4:18.

P Petr II. 29(4)* to some of whom a regular ‘‘allowance” or ‘‘ grant” (σύνταξις) may have been made. Dittenberger’s indices show seven inscriptions in $y/< and one in OG/S containing the word, all in the Hellenistic period.

Taken in war, seem anciently to have been looked upon as justly liable to death, and hence to any treatment less dreadful than death. Their necks were trodden upon, Jos 10:24, in token of abject subjection, which illustrates Ps 110:1. They were sold into servitude, like Joseph. They were mutilated, like Samson, or Adonizedek. They were stripped of all clothing, and driven in crowds to adorn the victor’s triumph. Large numbers of them were selected, often by a measuring line, 2Sa 8:2, and slain, 2Ch 25:12. This was sometimes done with designed cruelty, 2Sa 12:31 1Ch…

The Greek word ἄφεσις (i.e., *aphesis*) is derived from ἀφίημι and means release or dismissal. It encompasses concepts such as forgiveness, pardon, and remission, particularly in relation to sins, as seen in several New Testament passages like Luke 4:18 and Matthew 26:28. While most entries agree on its primary meanings, Trench notes a significant theological debate regarding its use in contrast to the term πάρεσις, particularly in the context of Old Covenant forgiveness.
ἼΛφεσις is the standing word by which forgiveness, or remission of sins, is expressed in the N. T. (see Vitringa, Obss. Sac. vol. i. pp. 909-983) ; though, remarkably enough, the LXX. — knows nothing of this use of the word, Gen. iv. 18 being the nearest approach to it. Derived from ἀφιέναι, the image which underlies it is that of a releasing, as of a prisoner (Isai. lxi. 1), or letting go, as of a debt (Deut. xv. 8). Probably the year of jubilee, called constantly ἔτος, or ἐνιαυτὸς, τῆς ἀφέσεως, Or simply ἄφεσις (Lev. xxv. 31, 40; xxvii. 24), the year in which all debts were forgiven, suggested the higher application of the word, which is frequent in the N. T., though more frequent in St. Luke than in all the other books of the New Covenant put together. On a single occasion, however, the term πάρεσις τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων occurs (Rom. iii. 25). Our Translators have noticed in the margin…

ἄφεσις. In Egypt ἄφεσις τοῦ ὕδατος was apparently a technical expression for the ‘‘release” of the water from the sluices or canals for the purpose of irrigation, e.g. P Petr II. 13(2)** (B.c. 258-3) ἵνα ἐπισκευασθῶσι mpd τῆς τοῦ ὕδατος ἀφέσεως, “in order that they (sc. bridges) may be finished before the letting loose of the water” (Ed.), 76. III. 39%, and 44 verso i 18 1. τζῶν κατ]ὰ Πτολεμαίδα a[hjécewy ἠνώιξαμεν B θύρας]. In this sense the noun may be concrete, meaning apparently a *‘ channel” or “sluice” : P Oxy VI. 918Y- 30 (ii/A.D.) ἀπηλ(ιώτου) ὁδὸ(ς) δημοσί(α) ἐν ἡ ἄφεσις λιθίνη. Hence, as Deissmann has shown (25 p. 98 ff.), the increased vividness for the Egyptians of the pictures in Joel 1°°, Lam 347 through the use of ἀφέσεις by the LX X translators. The word is similarly employed to denote the official “release” of the harvest after the taxes had been paid, in order that the…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word τυφλός (i.e., *typhlos*) means 'blind' and can refer to both physical and metaphorical blindness. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts discussing spiritual or mental blindness, as seen in Matthew and John. The term is derived from a root meaning 'to raise a smoke,' suggesting a state of obscurity or darkness.

The Greek word ἀποστέλλω (i.e., *apostellō*) means to send away or dispatch, often with a specific mission or commission. It is used in various contexts, including sending persons like Christ and the apostles, as well as things like messages or commands. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in Matthew 10:40 and Luke 4:18.

The Greek word θραύω (i.e., *thrauo*) means to break, shatter, or crush. It has both literal and metaphorical uses, including breaking down or enfeebling. The New Testament references it in contexts of oppression, notably in Luke 4:18, where it relates to being crushed by calamity. The lexicons do not present significant disagreement on its meanings.
θραύω: pf. pass. ptep. τεθραυσμένος; fr. [Hdt.], Aeschyl. down, to break, break in pieces, shatter, smite through, (Ex. xv. 6; Num. xxiv. 17, εἴς; 2 Mace. xy. 16): τεθραυσμένοι, broken by calamity ΓΑ. V. bruised], Lk. iv. 18 (19) fr. Is. lviii. 6 for Dy3¥9. [SY¥N. see ῥήγνυμι.]
θραύω. For the perf. part. pass. of this verb, which is found in Lk 4!8 (from LXX), cf. Sy/7 226188 (iii/B.c.) τ]εθραυσμένος : in 24, 58827 (c. B.c. 180) we have ποτήρια παντοδαπὰ τεθραυμένα. See also for the verb 24. 8015 (ii/A.D.) ἢ αἰκίσεται ἢ θραύσει ἤ τι μέρος ἢ σύμπαν, and Aabe/ 1003, an inscr. on the left leg of Memnon, referring to the breaking of the stone by Cambyses— ἔθραυσε Καμβύσης pe τόνδε τὸν λίθον. The verb is common in Vett. Val. with reference to the “crushing” of the power of evil etc., e.g. p. 2767 θραύεται ϑὲ τὸ φαῦλον ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ παρηγορούμενον, cf. Judith οἱ, and the subst. θραῦσμα in 16. 7%.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The Greek word ἄφεσις (i.e., *aphesis*) is derived from ἀφίημι and means release or dismissal. It encompasses concepts such as forgiveness, pardon, and remission, particularly in relation to sins, as seen in several New Testament passages like Luke 4:18 and Matthew 26:28. While most entries agree on its primary meanings, Trench notes a significant theological debate regarding its use in contrast to the term πάρεσις, particularly in the context of Old Covenant forgiveness.
ἼΛφεσις is the standing word by which forgiveness, or remission of sins, is expressed in the N. T. (see Vitringa, Obss. Sac. vol. i. pp. 909-983) ; though, remarkably enough, the LXX. — knows nothing of this use of the word, Gen. iv. 18 being the nearest approach to it. Derived from ἀφιέναι, the image which underlies it is that of a releasing, as of a prisoner (Isai. lxi. 1), or letting go, as of a debt (Deut. xv. 8). Probably the year of jubilee, called constantly ἔτος, or ἐνιαυτὸς, τῆς ἀφέσεως, Or simply ἄφεσις (Lev. xxv. 31, 40; xxvii. 24), the year in which all debts were forgiven, suggested the higher application of the word, which is frequent in the N. T., though more frequent in St. Luke than in all the other books of the New Covenant put together. On a single occasion, however, the term πάρεσις τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων occurs (Rom. iii. 25). Our Translators have noticed in the margin…

ἄφεσις. In Egypt ἄφεσις τοῦ ὕδατος was apparently a technical expression for the ‘‘release” of the water from the sluices or canals for the purpose of irrigation, e.g. P Petr II. 13(2)** (B.c. 258-3) ἵνα ἐπισκευασθῶσι mpd τῆς τοῦ ὕδατος ἀφέσεως, “in order that they (sc. bridges) may be finished before the letting loose of the water” (Ed.), 76. III. 39%, and 44 verso i 18 1. τζῶν κατ]ὰ Πτολεμαίδα a[hjécewy ἠνώιξαμεν B θύρας]. In this sense the noun may be concrete, meaning apparently a *‘ channel” or “sluice” : P Oxy VI. 918Y- 30 (ii/A.D.) ἀπηλ(ιώτου) ὁδὸ(ς) δημοσί(α) ἐν ἡ ἄφεσις λιθίνη. Hence, as Deissmann has shown (25 p. 98 ff.), the increased vividness for the Egyptians of the pictures in Joel 1°°, Lam 347 through the use of ἀφέσεις by the LX X translators. The word is similarly employed to denote the official “release” of the harvest after the taxes had been paid, in order that the…
